By the way, for those of you wondering what's my deal with Tiger, yes I'm a fan, but I'm more a fan of common sense. Talk radio is full now of conversations about "if Tiger retired right now, would he be the best of all time?"
It makes for good (and by that, I mean, horrible) radio, with callers calling in, giving their TAKES, and TV talking heads can sit around getting paid to say, "wellll, but Jack..."
Well, but Jack.
I won't bore you with it right now, but the correct answer to this question, whether you like the guy personally or not, is SO blatantly obvious that only one real answer is possible. If Tiger does happen to close out his career without 19 majors (which is the only way this will still ever be a conversation), I will come back here, show you statistics that will break your fucking brain, and make you wonder how it was even -- how they ever had the balls to even make it a discussion.
Let's just hang here for six or seven more years, and hopefully I won't have to do that. But I'm ready.
(Spoiler: it's not even remotely close. BUT JACK--
-- not even close.)
